You should totally go for it. The motorcycle in the footage you posted above is actually a moped and although it had been fitted with a 70cc head kit the YouTuber has said elsewhere that he didn't think this was actually necessary. The only issue with doing such a stunt on a Honda Express would be that having a carburettor rather than fuel injection, the float bowl might be held down by the g-force such that the carb might become flooded. I presume that the Indian Scouts generally used in this stunt are modified for such use. This is the Wall of Death show I've seen (a few times now) and as you can see the bike is not travelling at high speed. Normally aspirated antique engines retro-fitted with fuel injection? That would be a good trick. And if this is a required mod, I wonder how the problem was addressed pre-war? Carb flooding as a result of g-force, hmm. Funnily enough the opposite of this potential situation was a weakness famously suffered by Merlin engines when competing with it's Daimler counterpart. I saw a Wall Of Death show at the Bulldog Bash one year, they did more than this roundey-roundey stuff. I have no idea who owned the attraction.

Am now out in the thick of it. Very hazardous situation. If you don't hear from me then just think of it like this "It's been nice not knowing me". Well, you have been gone some time...

I think Jim has a higher EQ than you.

There is a hidden safe on my boat but it's so well hidden that I've never been able to find it. When I took over our NB I located all the locks and matched them with keys except the key marked SAFE. I searched high and low but no safe to be found. I knew that the boat lived ashore and was used as a office for the moorings the guy had and I figured the safe had been removed along with his personal effects. So I launched the safe key, yes you know what's coming, a couple of weeks later I found the safe, it was built into the floor of the sub well deck floor and was accessed via a door behind the front steps, the carpet under there was very thick making the keyhole very hard to find. Oh and nope never did get into it
